Inventor 17;? By Allomey Patented Nov. 17, 19st WINDOW scnnnivApplication filed June 6, 930. semen No. 459,475.

This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in windowscreens, and has as its principal object the provision of a screencapable of being moved with thewindow sash, in moving the window sash toan open position, and further being movable on the sash so that thescreen without the sash may be returned to a position for closing thewindow opening.

During the course of thefollowing specification and claim, otherimportant objects and advantages of the invention will readily becomeapparent to the reader.

In the drawings c c Figure 1 represents a horizontal sectional Viewthrough a casement window, with the window and screen in open position.7

Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts.reference will first be made to the casement type of window shown in.Figs 1 to 5 inclusive. Thecasement window includes-the frame 5 with thestop strip 6 secured therein. sents the usual swinging sash with thewindow pane 8 mounted therein. The sash 7 is hingedly connected to theframe 5 as at 9 and has one end ofthe brace rods 10 pivotallyconnectedthercto as at 11. i A guide rod 12 is mounted on theframe ofthe window and has the collar 13 on the other end of the brace rod 10slidable thereon and Numeral 7 repre-' equipped with a set screw 1ft.The foregoing is's'ubstantially of conventional construction. Thepresent invention includes a' window screen-frame 15, whichis connectedto a hinge leaf 17, as at'l8', 'the sa'idhinge leaf 17 being secured onthe sash end 9 in a suitable manilier. The frame 15 has the usual meshfiller ing registering with an opening thru the frame for receiving theintermediate portion of the latch lever 21, one end of which is bentlaterally to provide a handle 22, while the opposite end is bentlaterally in a diametrically opposite direction to provide a. tongue 23,which is engageable through the slot 24, and into the pocket 25 behindthe plate 26 in .which the slot 24 is formed, when the said tongueproperly registers with the slot'24i, the said pocket25 and plate 26being located on the frame 7 of the window sash.

An inwardly projecting arm 27 is provided on the stop strip 6 of thewindow frame over which the handle 23 may be hooked, when the screen isto be retained in a windowclosed position irrespective of the positionof the window sash frame 7.

Fig. 6 shows the invention secured to a transom type of window, theconstruction being substantially the same as represented in the abovespecification figures.

Fig. 7 shows a horizontal pivot window, numeral 7, representing thewindow sash, with numeral 8 representing the hub structure. The screenis divided into an upper and a lower section denoted by numerals 15? and16 respectively. The upper end of the window screen section 16' ishingedly secured to the hub '8, while the aforementioned latch 21 servesto retain the lower. edge thereof to the window frame. v j

The sleeve 20 on the frame 15 has its .openthe'window screen will remainin a vertical 7 position, regardless of the window frame 7.

While the foregoing specification sets position of the forth theinvention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerouschanges in the shape, size, and materials may be resorted to withoutdeparting from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimedhereinafter. 5 Having thus described my invention what I claim as new isIn a pivotally mounted window construction; a sash, a screen mounted onthe sash, a hinge section between the screen and the sash, a projectionon the usual window frame, an L-shaped handle rotatably mounted on thescreen, one end of the handle being provided with a lug for engaging thesash to retainthe screen thereto, the opposite end of the handle beingadapted for engagement with the pro iection on the-window frame toretain the window sash and screen in closed position with res eat to theusual Window frame.
